Benefits of technology

The invention is a mechanism for holding the foot in place within a shoe, preventing it from slipping or sliding during use. This system can be interchanged with different shoes, allowing wearers to change the appearance of their shoes for stylistic purposes. It is designed to offer added support and stability, reducing the risk of injury from imperfect fit or design. Overall, this patent aims to offer a solution for those who struggle to find shoes that perfectly fit and prevent injuries from sprains, blisters, and other foot issues.

Problems solved by technology

Differences in the size and shape of women's feet may make it difficult to find shoes that perfectly fit.
This problem is further exacerbated at times when feet exude sweat, causing the foot to slip and slide inside the shoe.
These problems make it difficult to walk and may cause injury such as sprains from the lack of stability.
The free movement of feet in such instances may also cause blisters on the heel and other parts of the foot.
